Kenya’s marine resources are substantial and constitute a huge base for employment and incomes generation and improved livelihoods, especially for residents of coastal regions. In collaboration with the relevant stakeholders such as Kenya Marine and Fisheries Research Institute (KEMFRI) and KWS among others, efforts will be made to harness this potential through creation of more marine reserves and protection of Kenya’s fi sh stocks by enforcing fishing regulations and more effective policing of our marine parks and resources.
